A Message from Peter

From a very young age, my parents spoke to me and my siblings about community and the responsibility of doing your part in making it better. I remember the first time I was in a position to be able to give back in a more significant way. It was Christmas Eve, back in the early days of Mattamy Homes and I was on my way home to my family. For some reason…I felt the need to make a slight detour and stopped by our local community hospital and gave them a donation. It was a pretty significant amount to me at that time, and it felt right. It was something I could do, so therefore I needed to do.

That is still what drives me today. I can do it, so I should.

I believe, we all need to give back in any way we can. Every hour helps, every cent counts. Whether you sponsor a family member in a fundraising event, get involved yourself, write a cheque or give your time, everyone can do something to give back.

I would like to thank all of the wonderful community partners that have shown me what it really means to be part of creating something special and making this world a little bit better.

The Peter Gilgan Foundation is proud of their legacy of supporting institutions working in the areas of health care, higher education and healthy and active lifestyles. Many of these institutions have made, and will continue to make, a large impact in the communities they serve.

In March of 2016, The Peter Gilgan Foundation officially rolled out a new set of funding guidelines reflective of the Board of Directors evolving priorities. The revised guidelines were arrived upon after an extensive internal review process, and are designed to guide decision making for the next few years.

The Peter Gilgan Foundation is now focused on supporting registered charities that improve life opportunities for children and families, as well as those that advance market-based solutions for global humanitarian and environmental concerns.
